#OOTD / black & white

Happy Friday!  Today's #OOTD is inspired by this gorgeous dress I came across from Free People.  I'm usually someone who is drawn to colour (hence the added pop of colour with the bag), but black and white is always a classic and can never go wrong.  I especially love an LWD.  I love the way it's styled with a bow necklace (unfortunately I can't find it on the website, but you can tie this skinny scarf into a bow and a more delicate choker is here).  I'm also obsessing over these Raye sandals.  I have quite a few black wedge sandals, but not ones quite like these.  I love the wedge part for stability, but the front looks delicate.  I would pair this dress with a delicate bracelet since it already has so much going on (this Jacquie Aiche one is 30% off!).

I went to dinner with my sister Friday night for a girls' night and unfortunately it was a pretty gloomy day/night.  But I was able to wear jeans!  This is the first time I have worn anything past the knees since we moved to Myrtle Beach.  It was a nice break from the shorts I have been wearing.  I have yet to buy a pair of white skinny jeans, so I pulled out my favourite 7 FAM skinnies.  You can never go wrong with a pair of 7s.  I have been waiting to wear this pretty cami for a while now.  I love the pretty, delicate details.  (It matched my umbrella, which thankfully we didn't really need after a few sprinkles while taking these pictures.)  We went to P.F. Chang's and the food was amazing!  We had the chicken lettuce wraps, a yummy lobster avocado roll along with a couple of other rolls and some chicken fried rice.  We already can't wait to go back to try other things on the menu.

p.s. We were SO bummed Magic Mike XXL wasn't playing at The Market Common!

I was looking for a black blouse recently and came across this sheer one at Marciano.  I love it because it's a 2-in-1 piece, which means you get at least 2 outfits out of it and in my world that basically means you paid half of the price.  You can wear this top as-is with the bralette it comes with, say for a night out, or you can swap the bralette and wear it with a work-appropriate camisole underneath.  I also love that you can even wear the bralette on its own, say with something high-waisted.  So technically that's 3 outfits.  It's a win-win-win!
